WAGNER L606 - Understanding Species Correction Factors

15
Species Corrections
The dry specic gravity (density) values
for a species are based on the best, current
world data, and are used to determine the
species correction factor within the meter.
The values provide average density
values for the species. A coefcient of
variation (COV) of about 10% describes
the variability inherent in many common
domestic (US) species.
If the specic gravity of your lumber
is not listed in the Species Settings
Tables provided or you are dealing
with an unknown species, the value
may be determined by referring to the
“Determining the Specic Gravity”
section of this manual. Additional
